I have unintentionally offended many dog owners and I always want to tell people that we should trust a dog owner to know his/her dog. Each of our dogs deal with strangers differently so I've become adept at helping each dog cop with strangers. Some people misinterpret my unwillingness to allow our dogs to interact with strangers and I get a snide comment about my unsocialized dogs. They don't understand that our dogs "are in training."
Helping Your Dog Cope with Strangers
My husband, Jason, spotted the woman across the supermarket parking lot about a football field away, locked on his little group like enemy radar and moving in their direction at warp speed. Jason had come to the parking lot to teach a class on canine obedience amidst moderate distractions, and about a dozen people and their dogs were participating in the class.
As he lectured and demonstrated dog-handling techniques, Jason kept one eye on the woman, who was closing fast. When she neared his group, Jason noticed that she was focused on one particular animal, a beautiful German Shepherd dog of exceptionally hard character that was working with its handler on exercises. The handler, a very capable person, had her back to the approaching woman.
Apparently, the well-intentioned woman was responding to an urge to pet this beautiful animal. The dog was getting ready to respond to an urge of its own.
Just before the woman reached the dog, Jason stepped forward and placed himself between them.
"Whoa, whoa!" he told the woman. "He's the wrong dog for that!"
At this point the handler realized what had been about to happen, and jumped into the conversation.
"He doesn't do well with people coming at him head-on," she told the woman.
The woman stopped. Perhaps embarrassed now by Jason and the handler, she turned to walk away, but paused to toss the angry comment,
"That dog must not be very well socialized!"
Actually, the dog was quite well socialized. It just didn't have a personality that permitted it to enjoy a friendly mauling by a stranger. And rather than criticizing the dog or his training, the woman might have considered saying, "Thanks for keeping me from getting bitten." In fact, if Jason or the dog's handler had not intervened, this dog probably would have bitten the woman, perhaps multiple times.
Lesson Number One
The incident provided Jason with some excellent lessons to share with his class. The first lesson was, if you feel the inexplicable urge to fondle a strange dog, never approach it without permission from its handler. Even with permission, approach circumspectly to avoid alarming the animal.
Lesson Number Two
Lesson number two was, if you are a handler and someone approaches your dog with the intention of touching it, there is nothing the matter with stepping between that person and the dog and informing the person politely that the dog doesn't like to be handled by strangers.
Look at it this way: Would you allow a stranger to rush up to your small child and fondle the child's face or run fingers through your child's hair? Would you allow a stranger to do the same to you? Why, then, would you allow someone to do that to your dog?
Meeting-a-Stranger Needs to be Handled Correctly
This meeting-a-stranger scenario can be critical to you and your dog because if you don't handle it correctly it can undermine your whole relationship. Virtually all strangers who approach are well-intentioned, and many handlers see no harm in allowing the scenario to play out. But that may not be the way your dog sees it.
How Does Your Dog Feel?
I was in a public venue a few years ago with a client who simply could not comprehend what was such a big deal about a stranger coming up and petting her somewhat uncomfortable dog.
"I'll show you what I'm talking about," I told her.
I left the client and walked halfway across the shopping center parking lot, then turned and caught her eye. I was about to do a little role-playing. Focused intently on her, I walked toward her at a rapid pace, never taking my eyes from hers. Still staring hard, I walked directly up to her and into her space, and then reached out and touched her face. I could see her recoil slightly.
"Now picture that if I were a stranger," I told her.
She got it.
"Oh, my goodness!" she said.
"That was creepy! If that really happened to me I'd be reaching for my can of Mace!"
Our Dogs Count on Us in Encounters with Strangers
To boil this down to its essence, your dog needs to be able to count on its leader in encounters with strangers. If you stand back and let strangers accost him, you are not being a leader. And in the absence of a leader, your dog will assume the position by default. He has no choice; the behavior is encoded in his doggy DNA. If he – not you – is the pack leader, this will make itself felt in all aspects of your relationship.
You can avoid all the problems associated with this by stepping up to your leadership responsibility.
Stopping a Speeding Bullet
Let me tell you about the experience of one of my clients recently on Alki Beach in Seattle, where we were working with her pup. The day was sunny, and a lot of walkers, joggers, skateboarders and bicyclists were enjoying the area. My client's puppy was a magnet for passers-by, many of whom wanted to man-handle it in a friendly manner. My client allowed anyone to do so. The puppy tolerated it, but I could see anxiety build up in the pup every time a person approached. My client didn't understand where the anxiety was coming from. I explained it to her, and told her what we needed to do about it.
A minute later, a couple came down the street toward us. The man was a pretty large guy, six-three or six-four and impressively built. The woman was pretty big herself, and together they were quite imposing. As they approached they spotted the pup. I could see their eyes light up, and they made a course correction that would bring them and us together.
This time, however, my client stepped between them and her dog, put her hand out, and very nicely explained,
"My pup is in training. I appreciate your intent, and thank you so much, but it would be better if you didn't pet her."
The pup of course understood none of the conversation, but it watched what her owner had done. My client was a petite woman, and next to this imposing couple she looked tiny. Yet she had stepped forward, put up her hand and – in her puppy's eyes – had stopped a speeding bullet. The look on the pup's face was priceless.
In the hour that we worked together that day, my client stopped about eight speeding bullets. With each repetition the puppy became more and more self-assured. With every new encounter, the pup looked to its owner expectantly, and by the eighth repetition we could see that the pup was confident that the next stranger would be stopped.
Some dogs actually like the attention of strangers. A lot of dogs don't, but will tolerate it. Some dogs, like the German Shepherd dog in Jason's class, won't even tolerate it.
Helping Your Dog Cope with Strangers
You can relieve your dog of a lot of anxiety by following the example of my Seattle client. Think of yourself as your dog's personal Secret Service agent. When the President of the United States travels, he travels with agents who are in charge of security. Their job is to scan for trouble and to put themselves between it and the President. This frees up the President to avoid worrying about that issue and to concentrate on doing his own job.
By intervening with people who approach uninvited, you clearly demonstrate to your dog that you are in charge of your pack's security. Not only does that lift a lot of stress from your dog, it sends a message to your dog as well. The message is that you clearly are its leader, because in the canine world, the job of pack security always is reserved for the pack leader.

Actors don't have tangible products to sell. Each is their own product and they must believe in and have confidence their talents and themselves or there is nothing to sell. Confidence is essential for everyone, but it is crucial for actors and performers. Vanity, arrogance, or egotism is not confidence. They are usually facades for someone who lacks it. If you are honest with yourself, you know the difference.
Confident is just who some actors are. Others may have had support from family and friends and/or from of multiple successes. For most, the lack of confidence is an issue that needs to be worked on. Let's start by considering the value of building your confidence.
Experience creates confidence. The more you do anything, the more experienced and skillful you become. So the more you properly study, rehearse, audition, and work, the more confident you are about your craft.
Confidence produces freedom. With real confidence, you do not worry about what others think, or failing, thus you have the freedom to be courageous and be yourself.
With freedom, your talent can shine. When actors get auditions, sign with an agent, receive good feedback or reviews, get callbacks and book jobs, etc., it helps them to feel confident. Unfortunately, these events are dependent on the acceptance of others. In that case, confidence can come and go without these "wins."
Here are nine tips to help you build your confidence:
1. Train with professional acting teachers. When you honestly know that you have a solid acting training, you can believe in your craft.
2. Take improvisation workshops. In professional improvisation classes, you learn to trust your instincts and commit. Once you get over your fear of making mistakes, you experience that they are fun, and that great moments come from messing up. This progression helps you to learn that no matter what happens in class or in life, you can handle it. This type of training goes a long way in building confidence.
3. Always be prepared. Whether putting up scenes in your classes, auditioning for jobs, or working as an actor, always be as prepared as possible. When you are unprepared, you'll feel most insecure about your work.
4. Acknowledge yourself for your successes. Most of us are quick to find fault within ourselves and what we do. I strongly suggest that you always take a few minutes to acknowledge yourself for what you've accomplished, or when you have done your creative best—whether or not you get the job or the positive feedback you desire. This is really important for building self-esteem. When you can be totally supportive of yourself, you will not be dependent on others to feel successful. And while you are at it, acknowledge others. It is great for them and reminds you to always do it for yourself.
5. Learn from mistakes. You are human and you make mistakes—especially when you are moving into uncharted waters. Most learn more from their mistakes than from their successes. So I suggest you look at mistakes as lessons and as gifts, instead of emotionally beating yourself up when you make them.
6. Avoid negative, jealous, angry, or bitter people. Those you surround yourself with affect how you feel about yourself. As much as possible, lose all the disempowering people in your life.
7. Have a full life. The more fun and stimulating activities you are involved with, the less pressure you attach to having to prove yourself.
8. Stay out of debt. Too much pressure is put on booking work when actors have money problems. When your financial life is somewhat in balance, you go into auditions without the pressure of needing the money.
9. Enjoy your survival job. If you have a job that you dislike, that can create negative feeling about yourself.
I truly believe that if you follow these suggestions to help build your confidence, that it should have a powerful affect on your ability to feel good about yourself, thus do your best auditions and get acting work. For more insights on how to be confident, check out this special video I created.

Parks, DEP & Boaters "Go Coastal" To Prevent Water Pollution
On June 27, Parks joined Going Coastal, a non-profit organization, at a Clean Boating / Clean Marina event at the West 79th Street Boat Basin in Riverside Park. Just in time for summer, Going Coastal is launching the Green Marina Campaign in cooperation with Parks & Recreation, NYC Department of Environmental Protection, NYS Environmental Facilities Corporation, NY-NJ Harbor Estuary Program, NY Marine Trades Association, and Domestic Sanitation Systems. The campaign is designed to educate hundreds of marina operators and thousands of recreational boaters about what they can do in their day-to-day activities to help protect water quality in the NY-NJ Harbor Estuary ecosystem.
The Green Marina Campaign is an education and outreach program to encourage marinas, boating clubs and boatyards to use simple strategies to help prevent or reduce pollutants coming from their facilities. A poster promoting environmentally responsible marina and boating practices will be distributed to marine facilities throughout New York Harbor along with information about how marine facilities can benefit from grants and technical assistance from the New York State Facilities Corporation.
"The initiative we are announcing today is the result of several agencies, boaters and marine businesses working together to safeguard our waters and waterfront environment. It would not have been possible without support from our funders," said Barbara La Rocco, President of Going Coastal, Inc.
The campaign's Clean Boating Map is an effective vehicle for getting marina patrons and transient boaters to actively participate in protecting water quality in the Harbor Estuary. The handy postcard-sized map informs recreational boaters about marine sanitation rules, No Discharge Zones and No Wake Areas in the Estuary. A pump-out safely removes sewage from a vessel's holding tank. Marinas and boating clubs are giving out 15,000 Clean Boating Maps this summer.
The Marina Division, represented by First Deputy Commissioner Liam Kavanagh, Chief of Operations Keith Kerman, Director Nate Grove and Chief Dockmaster Gregory Smith was honored with the first-ever Clean Marina Award. It was presented by Going Coastal, Inc. to recognize the 79th Street Boat Basin's achievement in going above-and-beyond the required environmental regulations in its commitment to clean water, improving operations and boater education. The award acknowledges the efforts of the Parks Department's Marina Division to prevent pollution and encourage clean and safe boating in New York City's waterways.
"Parks & Recreation is committed to keeping our City's environment clean," said Commissioner Kavanagh. "The Clean Boating / Green Marina Campaign will educate boaters on what they can do to help improve water quality in our City's waterways. We salute the 79th Street Boat Basin in their efforts on this front." Parks was also honored with a Proclamation from District Council Member Gale Brewer, recognizing the marina's excellence in encouraging responsible boating.
Parks manages 15 marinas and boat clubs throughout the City. The Boat Basin, World's Fair Marina in Queens and Sheepshead Bay in Brooklyn are operated by our internal Marinas Division, while the others are managed by Revenue through concession agreements. In total, Parks generates almost $3 million per year from revenues while serving over 3,500 boaters. Parks is also working actively to promote boating safety. We distributed notices to thousands of boaters regarding the new No Wake Laws on the Harlem River and are posting signage to discourage wakes. The Marinas and Boating section of the Parks website (www.nyc.gov/parks) is also becoming a resource for all recreational boaters.

I made this with instant rice boiled the carrot, boullion, butter and water first then added the rice. It turned out great and looked very pretty. A nice way to add some vegetabels to our diet.
Very pretty and a nice change from regular rice, though the carrots really didn't add much flavour - it tasted basically like normal steamed rice.
I agree that the carrots add more color than flavor, but it was a nice change and it went perfect with our fish and vegetables dinner. I did add 3 bouillon cubes for a little extra flavor. Thanks Melissa.

NPR Fondles Monsanto. [Petition]
by Sarah Miller
Oh you haven't heard?! Your fuzzy, sweet little "public" radio station is getting monetary support from some of the largest corporations in the world. I've heard the GE commercials before and shuddered, but when I caught Marketplace's blatant advertisement of Monsanto the other day, I gagged. Furthermore they used their name in the same sentence as "sustainable" and "feeding the world's population."
If hundreds of Indian farmers committing suicide because of this evil corporation, doesn't move you to question this poisonous beast, then you might want to question if your heart is made of lead or not. The research against biotech foods is overwhelming. (Research not funded by this corporate giant or the government of course.) This unnatural and dangerous food science experimentation is no way to feed the world, let alone a village.
The biggest reason I don't support NPR, and choose only to offer my meager yoga instructor salary spare change to real grassroots radio stations like Pacifica, is purely for this factor. NPR is no more public radio than Fox News is public news. If Monsanto is offering their financial blessings to the station, might there be some strings attached? We've heard about their letter to Michelle, using scare tactics on farmers and their overall negligence in the US and around the world.
Please check the Organic Consumer Association's petition site or send a fax directly to Monsanto expressing your concerns. In addition, let's let NPR know why this is not acceptable. Contact them!
Loved it? Leave a tip!

The NPR/ Monsanto ad is quoted on the Organic Consumer Association's website. The 12 second spot reads…
"Marketplace is supported by Monsanto, committed to sustainable agriculture, creating hybrid and biotech seeds designed to increase crop yields and conserve natural resources." Learn more at ProduceMoreConserveMore.com.
Sign OCAs letter to American Public Media, creator of the NPR ad
http://capwiz.com/grassrootsnetroots/issues/alert… -
Thank you. Crops that don't produce seeds. Like baby boys who don't produce sperm. Does this SOUND like a good idea?
Just a point of clarification…Marketplace is produced by American Public Media, which is not NPR. APM produces independent radio programming, and while many of their shows are carried on stations that also carry NPR programs, they are not related. And whatever you do, please don't blame the messenger…withholding support from your local public radio station is NOT an effective way to get the message across to NPR, APM, or any other programming provider. All that does is hinder the local stations ability to provide more local content.
Do let APM know that you resent hearing Monsanto as a sponsor (as I do). And make your feelings known to the local station, when you make a pledge. They will pay attention…and they'll send your message on to the people who need to hear it.
But withholding a pledge just makes it that much harder for public stations to provide an alternative to the vast wasteland that is most commercial radio.
I would rather my public radio not be tarnished by monsanto. However, i think if public radio can take monsanto money away from monsanto and robin hood it into the incredible and thoughtful programming it provides, i might be able to tolerate it. (Although that doesn't usually happen). In this case, NPR/APM TOTALLY dropped the ball and should NEVER have allowed the advert to falsely claim that GMO technology is sustainabile agriculture. That just disgusts me.

UNH New England Climate Initiative Receives $4M in Federal FundingU.S. Sen. Judd Gregg treks to Mount Washington summit for announcementBy Sharon Keeler UNH News Bureau MT. WASHINGTON, N.H. -- The summit of Mount Washington was the backdrop for today's announcement of $4 million in federal funding for a University of New Hampshire project focusing on New England's variable climate. U.S. Sen. Judd Gregg (R-NH) joined UNH and Mount Washington Observatory officials for the July 7 event. Gregg was credited with securing the federal dollars earmarked for AIRMAP. The university's AIRMAP project (Atmospheric Investigations, Regional Modeling and Prediction) -- run by the Climate Change Research Center, located within the UNH Institute for the Study of Earth, Oceans and Space -- received an initial allocation of $2 million from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) last year. This week, Gregg announced there will be an additional $2 million in the next NOAA budget. AIRMAP's goal is understanding and predicting changes in climate, weather and air quality for the New England region. It began as the New England Climate Initiative, funded by $500,000 from the Iola Hubbard Climate Change Endowment, and has since evolved into AIRMAP. "Through its Climate Change Research Center, the university has developed an expertise in the area of weather research," says Sen. Gregg, who chairs the Senate Appropriations panel that funds NOAA. "And as a result of UNH's cooperative ventures with the Mount Washington Observatory, New Hampshire has developed into a world leader in the area of weather research. "The AIRMAP project will build on our previous success and expand our knowledge of atmospheric conditions and weather forecasting," Gregg continues. "The results of this research will hopefully lead to more accurate forecasting that gives us advance notice of changing weather conditions in the New England region." Climate Change Research Center Director Paul Mayewski explains, "In the last few years, our understanding of global scale climate change, both physical (temperature, precipitation, atmospheric circulation) and chemical (particles, gases, dissolved chemicals) has taken a quantum jump. "The major challenge we now face is to understand these changes at the regional scale and to predict future changes and their impact on humans and ecosystems," he says. "Through AIRMAP, we will be able to undertake activities in northern New England, such as intensive air quality monitoring and high resolution weather analysis that build on existing networks and rapidly developing technological strengths all geared toward predictions both for daily weather forecasts and longer-term -- next month, next season, next year -- forecasts." AIRMAP's specific activities will include:
Working with the UNH Climate Change Research Center on AIRMAP are the observatory, Plymouth State College's meteorology department, the NOAA Forecast Systems Laboratory and the NOAA Air Resources Laboratory. Another UNH project, GroundWinds, also was the focus of remarks at the July 7 event. The project will include the use of LIDAR wind profile technology.

Released: Oct 01st, 1995
Running Time: 79
Directors: Frank (I), Ona Zee
Company: Ona Zee Productions
Alec Metro, Bobby Vitale, Hank Armstrong, Emily (I), Winter Layne, Seymore Butts, Anna Malle, Dalny
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: Feature
In between the action of Ona Zee's latest Sex Academy offering, she attempts to educate viewers about the importance of the pulp magazine publications of the '20s and '30s.
Aside from the weird "poetic" opening and annoying lectures, the action is pretty hot. One scene has Bobby Vitale and Alex Sanders licking away on Dalny like two old hound dogs jousting over a frying pan full of bacon grease. Dalny appears to enjoy this so much she actually smiles… twice! Later a black-haired lady gets such a good pounding, she actually gets cross-eyed for a moment.
The production is acceptable; forget the pulp discussion nonsense, and enjoy the sex. A proven winner, Ona's Sex Academy series should have a home on your shelves.

Publisher's page
CSR is a fragile concept if conceived only at the organizational level or driven only by leadership will. Many writers deal with aspects of social responsibility, but most deal with it as this kind of organizational and voluntary initiative. Few address the wider policy agenda. The contributors to Territories of Social Responsibility - researchers and practitioners from four continents - all participated in an international workshop co-ordinated by Patricia Almeida Ashley as part of her role as Chair in Development and Equity at the International Institute of Social Studies. They form a policy network contributing to studies on the concept of a multi-actor, multilevel and territorial approach to social responsibility and governance, oriented towards global, regional or local development and equity goals. This book introduces a new conceptual framework and promotes a research and policy agenda relating to it.A new model sees CSR embedded in institutional and legal frameworks, communicated and understood through a vector of communication and knowledge influencing situated culture and social values, and classified into three levels of ethical challenges. All of this can be expressed into the social processes of education, governance, the development of civil society, and policy making - a renovation of the existing perspectives on the concept of social responsibility. This ground breaking book integrates conceptual and empirical contributions and opens a research and policy agenda for the future. It will appeal to academics, higher level students, policy makers, and to leaders of and advisors to organizations affected by social responsibility issues.

By Paul Strauss: Yuriorkis "El Cicion Guantanmo" Gamboa managed a 8th round TD over southpaw Daniel Ponce De Leon in HBO's featured bout at Boardwalk Hall, in Atlantic City, New Jersey last night. De Leon was a big underdog, but seemingly managed to make a tough fight for Gamboa. Most experts thought that Gamboa would be much too fast and powerful for De Leon, but De Leon's awkward stance and rhythm proved troublesome for the little Cuban. On paper Gamboa managed a shut out or close to it in the minds of all the judges, as well as unofficial score keeper Harold Lederman. But, the truth is all the rounds were close. Gamboa went into the fight hoping to score a dramatic win and continue with his domination of those whom his fans feel are pretenders in the top featherweight weight class. It didn't happen, and instead the fight elevated Ponce De Leon's status. It took a crunching accidental head butt in the eighth round to end his stubborn resilency. The contest had moments of real excitement, those times when Gamboa would attack and try to get Ponce De Leon to trade with him. He wanted take advantage of his speed. But, after most of those brief exchanges, Gamboa would back away and be content with pot-shots and counters. His punches were definitely harder and cleaner than Ponce De Leon's, but it was puzzling why he allowed Ponce De Leon to "wind up" with his shots, when it seemed as though he should be doing a better job at timing his counters and really nailing him. In fact, Ponce De Leon was telegraphing his punches so much that his motions resembled the center fielder in baseball, who comes forward with one or two big steps, hoping to gain the momentum he needs to power his throw home. He wasn't landing the eventual punch, but he kept getting away with the wind up? Regardless, the fight continued to progress with Gamboa maintaining an edge with his straighter, sharper, harder punches. But, neither fighter was able to get across a really clean shot, either to the head or body. In the post-fight interview with Max Kellerman, Gamboa said he purposely let Ponce De Leon get past the fourth round, because he wanted to make a point! Apparently, Yuriorkis was upset with some of his critics, who predicted that if Ponce De Leon made it past the fourth round, he would then knockout Gamboa? So, to prove them wrong, Gamboa claims to have let Ponce De Leon hang around? Max was a bit incredulous upon hearing that statement, and asked how that would impress anyone when everyone was looking for him to once again be impressive by quickly knocking out a common opponent with JuanMa Lopez? Failing to get an answer that made sense, he simply congratulated Gamboa and moved on by next asking Gamboa about his preferences for a possible future opponent. Gamboa said he wants Pacquiao. Good luck with that one! Max suggested maybe a rising star like Mike Garcia, and Gamboa seemed receptive to that as well. It's good bet that Ponce De Leon will be talking up a rematch. As a lead in to the Gamboa vs. Ponce De Leon fight, HBO replayed the Vitali Klitschko vs. Tomaz Adamek slaughter. Once again it was man against boy. The size difference, and lack of speed, prevented Adamek from doing much of anything other than offering himself up for the kill. About all that he accomplished was to once again prove his toughness, as Vitali whittled him down over the course of the fight. Albeit for the ropes, Adamek would have been down several times. The referee mercifully stepped in to call a halt to things in the tenth round. By that time, Adamek was stumbling around with a bleeding nose and lumps all over his face. The only real drama in the fight came when Vitali missed a right hand in the ninth, which seemed to leave him off balance. At the same time, his knee seemed to give way, caused him to fall, Initially, there was some question as to whether Adamek had thrown and landed an inside counter punch, but replays showed that was not the case. Rather, Vitali just fell? Preceding the fight card, HBO played the latest 24/7 episode. If possible, Floyd Mayweather, Jr. proved to be even more annoying than usual. Film of him, of course, included his usual "hangers-on", those who persistently (and annoyingly) tag-along, fawning over every utterance rising up from this snollygoster's putrid swamp of a thought process. The pretense of his skype call to military personnel stationed in harm's way was the most insulting. He obviously doesn't understand the maxim that explains, "Honor above wealth. Tradition above self." No, this ninny hammer thought he could bedazzle them with his cloy. But, all he accomplished was to cause disgust created by his excess.

CHENNAI: Adolescents in city schools will soon imbibe critical life skills to avert perils such as substance abuse, teenage pregnancies and other high-risk behaviour, and to adopt healthy living practices.
In an advocacy programme on adolescent education, nearly 60 teachers from schools affiliated to the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) were trained to impart adolescent education to their school students.
The four-day workshop, which concluded here on Saturday, was a part of the National Adolescent Education Programme, which is an initiative of the Union Ministry of Human Resources Development, to address the increase in high risk behaviour among youth.
The United Nations Population Fund, the National Council of Educational Research and Training and the CBSE are the partnering agencies in the initiative.

When your current MSN site opens isn't there a button somewhere along the top, (it may have a picture of a house on it) 'Home'. If you click this it will take you to the MSN 'Home' page.
Type MSN in your browsers search bar. Click on any selection that says 'MSN.com', when I did this I was offered the choice of opening either MSN UK or USA. This might be your problem? Perhaps originally you were watching the USA site or visa versa.
Having said all that it is quite possible that they have just changed the design of their web page. If this is the case then my friend you'll probably just have to go with the flow, as regulars of PCA are having to do since PCA changed this site.
Such is life :)

A user of a computer, or a user of an application, simply called a user, is a person who has been given the right to use either the computer or an application. For a person to use Microsoft SQL Server, an account must be created for him or her. As you may remember, when you install Microsoft SQL Server, you must use an account that has administrative rights. We also mentioned that there is an existing account named sa. These two accounts allow you to perform the necessary preliminary operations on a Microsoft SQL Server. Obviously, you may need to create other accounts, for the users.
To visually create a user, in the Object Explorer, expand the database whose user(s) you want to create and expand its Security node. Right-click Users and click New User... This would open the Database User - New dialog box: In the User Name, type the name you want. In the Login Name, you must type a valid user name for an existing account. After specifying the login and the user name, you can select other options in the check boxes, options we will ignore at this time. Then click OK. The formula to programmatically create a user is: CREATE USER user_name [ { { FOR | FROM } { LOGIN login_name | CERTIFICATE cert_name | ASYMMETRIC KEY asym_key_name } | WITHOUT LOGIN ] [ WITH DEFAULT_SCHEMA =schema_name ] If you want Microsoft SQL Server to generate code for you, open a new Query window. In the Template Explorer, expand the User node. Drag Create User As DBO and drop it in the text editor: -- ============================== -- Create User as DBO template -- ============================== USE <database_name, sysname, AdventureWorks> GO -- For login <login_name, sysname, login_name>, create a user in the database CREATE USER <user_name, sysname, user_name> FOR LOGIN <login_name, sysname, login_name> WITH DEFAULT_SCHEMA = <default_schema, sysname, dbo> GO -- Add user to the database owner role EXEC sp_addrolemember N'db_owner', N'<user_name, sysname, user_name>' GO You start with the CREATE USER expression followed by a user name. As mentioned already, it can be almost anything. After the user name, to associate a login to the user, type FOR LOGIN followed by the login name that will use it. If the name is in one word, simply type it. Here is an example: CREATE USER JohnYamo
FOR LOGIN rkouma;
If the name is in more than one word, include it in square brackets. Here is an example: CREATE USER [Paul Martin Souffrance]
FOR LOGIN rkouma;
The other things are optional.
When you create a new user, the database engine assigns
it a number named the security identifer, also named SID. This number is
stored in the master database and can be retrieved from
sys.server_principals. Of course, each secutiry identifier must be
unique for each user. A role is an action or a set of actions that are allowed to a security principal. For example a person A can be allowed to create and use a database. The ability to perform such an action is referred to as a role. Another person B can be allowed only to use an existing database without being able to create a new one. This is another type of role.
If you have created a database but don't need it anymore, you can delete it. It is important to know, regardless of how you create a database, whether using SQL Server Management Studio, code in the query window, or the Command Prompt, every database can be accessed by any of these tools and you can delete any of the databases using any of these tools. As done with creating a database, every tool provides its own means.
To delete a database in SQL Server Management Studio, in the Object Explorer, expand the Databases node, right-click the undesired database, and click Delete. A dialog box would prompt you to confirm your intention. If you still want to delete the database, you can click OK. If you change your mind, you can click Cancel.
To delete a database in a Query window, use the DROP DATABASE expression followed by the name of the database. The formula used is: DROP DATABASE DatabaseName; Before deleting a database in SQL, you must make sure the database is not being used or accessed by someone else or by another object.
A namespace is a group of "things" where each thing has a unique name: Notice that there are various types of objects within a namespace. For example, inside a company, each department has a unique name. Because two companies are independent, they can have departments that have the same name inside each company. To organize its own items, a namespace can have other namespaces inside. That is, a namespace can have its own sub-namespaces, just like a company can have divisions.
As mentioned already, a namespace can have objects inside. To further control and manage the objects inside of a namespace, you can put them in sub-groups called schemas. Therefore, a schema (pronounced skima) is a group of objects within a namespace. This also means that, within a namespace, you can have as many schemas as you want: Notice that, just like a namespace can contain objects (schemas), a schema can contain objects also (the objects we will create throughout our lessons). To manage the schemas in a namespace, you need a way to identify each schema. Based on this, each schema must have a name. In our illustration, one schema is named Schema1. Another schema is named Schema2. Yet another schema is named Schema_n. A schema is an object that contains other objects. Before using it, you must create it or you can use an existing schema. There are two types of schemas you can use, those built-in and those you create. When Microsoft SQL Server is installed, it also creates a few schemas. One of the schemas is named sys. Another is called dbo. The sys schema contains a list of some of the objects that exist in your database system. One of these objects is called databases (actually, it's a view). When you create a database, its name is entered in the databases list using the same name you gave it. To access the schemas of a database, in the Object Explorer, expand the Databases node, expand the database that will hold or own the schema, and expand the Security node. To visually create a schema, right-click Schemas and click New Schema... This would open the Schema - New dialog box. In the Schema Name text box, enter a one-word name. Here is an example: After providing a name, you can click OK. The formula to programmatically create a schema is: CREATE SCHEMA schema_name_clause [ <schema_element> [ ...n ] ] <schema_name_clause> ::= { schema_name | AUTHORIZATION owner_name | schema_name AUTHORIZATION owner_name } <schema_element> ::= { table_definition | view_definition | grant_statement | revoke_statement | deny_statement } The most important part is: CREATE SCHEMA schema_name_clause [ <schema_element> [ ...n ] ] In this case, start with the CREATE SCHEMA expression and add a name to it. Here is an example: 1> CREATE SCHEMA PrivateListing; 2> GO 1> The other parts deal with issues we have not studied yet.
Inside of a schema, two objects cannot have the same name, but an object in one schema can have the same name as an object in another schema. Based on this, if you are accessing an object within its schema, you can simply use its name, since that name would be unique. On the other hand, because of the implied possibility of dealing with objects with similar names in your server, when accessing an object outside of its schema, you must qualify it. To do this, you would type the name of the schema that contains the object you want to use, followed by the period operator, followed by the name of the object you want to use. From our illustration, to access the Something1 object that belongs to Schema1, you would type: Schema1.Something1 As mentioned already, when Microsoft SQL Server is installed, it creates a schema named dbo. This is probably the most common schema you will use. In fact, if you don't create a schema in a database, the dbo schema is the default and you can apply it to any object in your database.
A permission is an action that a user is allowed to perform, or is prevented from performing, on a database or on one of its objects.
Microsoft SQL Server provides various levels of security and therefore permissions are managed on different levels. First of all, there are two categories of people who use a database: the database developers and the regular users. As a consequence, the are two categories of permissions you will deal with.
In order to do something on the server or one of its objects, a user must be given the permission. This is also referred to as granting a permission. To grant permissions, the account you are using must have the ability to do so. This means that, before granting permissions, you must log in with an account that has its own right permissions. You can grant permissions visually or with code. To visually grant one or more permissions on the server, in the Object Explorer, right-click the name of the server and click Properties. In the left frame of the Server Properties dialog box, click Permissions. In the Logins or Roles list, click the name of the user. In the bottom list, use the options in the Grant column: The basic formula to programmatically grant one or more permissions is: GRANT Permission TO Login You start with the GRANT keyword followed by the name of the permission. After the permission, type TO, followed by the login name you want to grant the permission to. Here is an example that gives operez to create a database on the server: USE master;
TO operez;
If you want to grant more than one permission, separate their names with commas. Here is an example: GRANT CREATE ANY DATABASE, SHUTDOWN
TO operez;
If you want to grant the same permission(s) to more than one account, list them, separated by commas. Here is an example: GRANT CREATE ANY DATABASE, ALTER ANY LOGIN
TO pkatts, gdmonay;
To primary permission a person needs in Microsoft SQL Server is to be able to connect to the server. This permission is called CONNECT. This is also the default permission. After all, if a person cannot establish a connection to the server, she cannot use the database. When you create a new user account, it is automatically given the right to connect to the server. Otherwise, you can deny it if you want.
As opposed to granting rights, you can prevent a user from doing something on the server, on a database, or on an object. This is referred to as denying a permission. To visually deny one or more permissions, in the Object Explorer, right-click the name of the server and click Properties. In the left frame, click Permissions. In the Logins or Roles list, click the name of the user. Use the options in the Deny column. The basic formula to programmatically deny one or more permissions is: DENY Permission1, Permission2, Permission_n TO Login1, Login2, Login_n Here is an example: DENY CREATE ANY DATABASE
TO rkouma;
There are many issues you need to keep in mind in order to rightfully manage permssions. This is because permissions are somehow interconnected. This means that granting one permission may not work if another right is not given or is denied to the same user. There are many permissions in Microsoft SQL Server. Some permissions are used regularly and are of primary importance:
Besides granting or denying permissions to an account, you can give an account the ability to grant or deny permissions to other accounts. To do this visually, open the Database Properties for the database you want to work on. In the Users or Roles section, select the user. In the Persmissions, use the check boxes in the With Grant column. The formula to programmatically give an account the ability to grant or deny permissions to other accounts is: GRANT Permission1,Permission2, Permission_n
TO Login1, Login2, Login_n
This follows the same formula as the GRANT right we saw earlier. You must just add the WITH GRANT OPTION expression.
Consider the following SQL statement: DENY CREATE ANY DATABASE
TO rkouma;
When this code has been executed, if the TO user logs in and tries creating a database, he would receive an error: Revoking a permission consists of either denying a permission that was previously granted or granting a permission that was previously denied. To visually do this, open the Properties dialog box of the database (or the object) on which the permission was managed. To programmatically revoke a permission, the formula to follow is: REVOKE [ GRANT OPTION FOR ] <permission> [ ,...n ] { TO | FROM } <database_principal> [ ,...n ] [ CASCADE ] [ AS <database_principal> ] <permission> ::= permission | ALL [ PRIVILEGES ] <database_principal> ::= Database_user | Database_role | Application_role | Database_user_mapped_to_Windows_User | Database_user_mapped_to_Windows_Group | Database_user_mapped_to_certificate | Database_user_mapped_to_asymmetric_key | Database_user_with_no_login Start with the REVOKE keyword followed by the permission(s). This is followed by either TO or FROM and the login name of the account whose permission must be managed. Here is an example: /* DENY CREATE ANY DATABASE TO rkouma; GO */ REVOKE CREATE ANY DATABASE TO rkouma; GO Revoking a permission doesn't give that same permission. Imagine a user with a newly created account didn't have the permission to create new databases. If you deny that person the ability to create new databases, that denial becomes effective. If you revoke the permission, you are asking the server to restore the status of that person with regards to that particular right. That doesn't give that user the permission. The above code doesn't give the user the right to create new databases. If you want the user to have a right, you must explicitly grant the permission. Consider the following code: REVOKE CREATE ANY DATABASE TO rkouma; GO GRANT CREATE ANY DATABASE TO rkouma; GO This restores the user's denial for creating new databases, then grants the permission to that user. This time, the user has the right to create new databases.

Savannah has stories. Even after living there while studying at the Savannah College of Art and Design, I haven't heard them all. There are tales of pirates, ghosts, wars, duels, lovers and love lost preserved in old Victorian homes and under canopies of Spanish moss hanging in live oak trees.
A trip to Savannah begins at River Street, the historic center of the city. While there's a lot to do and see on River Street, the heart and charm of the Hostess City can be found on a walking tour through its historic district, the largest in the nation.
On River Street, you'll pass historic sites, bars, shops and old-fashioned candy shops that give samples of just-made pralines. Continue south to Forsyth Park, Savannah's large central park—but stop along the way.
Walk up precarious stone steps and cross Bay Street, then stop on Congress Street, home to Savannah's eclectic mix of bars, for a drink. City Market is nearby, and you can catch live music playing most weekend nights. Around the corner is LuLu's Chocolate Bar, a romantic spot featuring rich, delicious desserts and specialty martinis.
Next is Broughton Street, the commercial hub of Savannah. Broughton has a range of stores from Marc Jacobs to local boutiques. Stop by Nourish for handmade soaps, Paris Market for seltzers and antiques or Savannah Bee Company to sample artisan honey in Champagne flutes.
Heading south, you'll pass another of the city's defining aspects: the squares. Each of the 24 squares has its own atmosphere and aesthetic, some European charm in the Deep South. It's worth it to take the time and discover each one, and try and pick a favorite.Finally, you'll reach Forsyth Park featuring the famous Forsyth Park fountain. Bring a picnic from a bistro such as La Papillote and regroup. Then head back north toward the river to discover more charm. Or you could take a pedicab. The easy-to-navigate streets take stress off of travel and allow a couple to focus on a new chapter of their own stay in this city of myth and fable.

Calling All Girl Scouts
There's more than just green in Savannah this year—there's brown and blue, too. Girl Scouts flood to Savannah each year to visit founder Juliette Gordon Low's birthplace, but 2012 is the centennial of the Girl Scouts, and the museum is celebrating in a big way. Throughout the month of March, there will be special tours and events. Thousands of Girl Scouts will cross Savannah's iconic Talmadge Bridge March 10 for a day of celebration as the group begins its second century of courage, confidence and character.

I hope I shall possess firmness and virtue enough to maintain what I consider the most enviable of all titles, the character of an honest man. ~George Washington

The free tours — which includes both walking and bike versions — spirit visitors around the city's biggest and most noteworthy public art pieces while imparting the behind-the-scenes details of their creation and installation.
"The first tours started three years ago with the Convention Center and the Performing Arts Complex, and the second year we added the Civic Center tour and one bicycle tour — the LoDo tour," said Rudi Cerri, who supervises Denver's Percent-for-Art program, among various other projects.
"This year we expanded the bike tour to include Stapleton," he said. "And they have been very popular — especially the bike tour, which 'sold out' the first day."
The tours kick off at various locations on Saturday and Sunday mornings June through October, including Civic Center Park, the Colorado Convention Center, the Ellie Caulkins Opera House and Stapleton's Founders Fountain. Visitors will get the lowdown on such pieces as the Convention Center's "big blue bear," the Performer Arts Center's "dancing aliens," the Denver Public Library and dozens more artworks and architectural pieces around town.
Like last year, the tours — one hour by foot or two hours by bicycle — are free but limited to 15 people each, so be sure to make reservations with Cerri at 720-865-4307 or rudi.cerri(at)denvergov.org.

Scotland Yard's new chief inspector Nicholas Drummond is on the first flight to New York when he learns his colleague, Elaine York, the "minder" of the Crown Jewels for the "Jewel of the Lion" exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, was found murdered. Then the centerpiece of the exhibit, the infamous Koh-i-Noor Diamond, is stolen from the Queen Mother's crown. Drummond, American-born but raised in the UK, is a dark, dangerous, fast-rising star in the Yard who never backs down. And this case is no exception. Special Agents Lacey Sherlock and Dillon Savich from Coulter's bestselling FBI series don't hesitate to help Drummond find the cunning international thief known as the Fox. Nonstop action and high stakes intensify as the chase gets deadly. The Fox will stop at nothing to deliver the Koh-i-Noor to the man who believes in its deadly prophecy. Nicholas Drummond, along with his partner, FBI Special Agent Mike Caine, lay it on the line to retrieve the diamond for Queen and country.

Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park was Scotland's first National Park and comprises 720 square miles of beautiful mountains, glens and lochs.
Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park falls into four distinct parts: Loch Lomond, The Trossachs, Breadalbane and Argyll Forest.
Immortalised in song, Loch Lomond is the largest freshwater expanse in mainland Britain. Mountains loom to the north, while a scattering of islands can be found at the south end of the loch. Pretty villages such as Luss line the loch's western shores.
The Trossachs is 'Rob Roy Country' where the famous outlaw hid from his pursuers in the dense forests. The area was much loved by Scottish writer and poet Sir Walter Scott whose famous poem The Lady of the Lake was inspired by Loch Katrine, which you can cruise on the steamship SS Sir Walter Scott.
Breadalbane marks the beginning of the Highlands at the northern tip of the National Park. Here myths and legends abound and the enchanting Falls of Dochart run through the picturesque village of Killin.
At the western edge of the National Park is Argyll Forest Park. Britain's first forest park is typified by its ancient trees, tranquil lochs and wide range of wildlife. Also within the park is Ben Arthur, affectionately known as 'the Cobbler' and one of Scotland's most popular climbs.

Griping about 'down'
Grim sits well, but will whine and gripe if I tell him to 'down'. He knows what it means, but he doesn't want to do it. Anybody else have a dog that complains about a certain command? Also, the only time he'll do 'watch me' is if he knows I have a treat in my hand. Then all I have to do is say his name and his head whips up and he's VERY intense with his look. I'm trying to increase the time that he'll look me in the eye, but after a couple seconds he starts whining and griping about that, too. KNOWING he can do these things, but either refuses or will only do it when he knows I have something he wants... with the griping and moaning... I hope this gets better soon!! I love that he's vocal, but it seems that most of the time he uses it to tell me what he doesn't want to do.

A lot of dogs have problems downing for people in the beginning of training. Down is a very submissive position that they generally don't want to be in. If you know he knows it, start correcting. Light tugs downwards with the leash until he goes all the way down. Then praise with treats/happy voice.
As for the focus...I wouldn't expect much from a 4 month old. You've taught him that looking at you for a second gives him a treat. I'm guessing now you're extending that time period. It will take a lot of time to extend that to a point where he looks at you for a while without a treat. |

I guess I should have thought of the 'submissive' part. I've never had a shepherd complain about down. My first boy used to gripe at me about rolling over... but that was it. Grim right now is flexing his dominance muscle in the house with my Pug. I didn't expect that to fly as she's got an "I'm in charge" personality, but she submits every time.

It took me forever to teach Annie a solid down. She'd down okay but then she'd pop right back up. Now she'll stay there, but you can tell by looking at her that she's waiting for the signal to get up. We call it her ready to launch mode.

something I use to do as well, when they DO down, as in just casually lay down, I am usually saying GOOD DOWN! and toss a treat.."Free Shaping", don't ask for the command, when they "do" what you'd like them to do, at any time, PRAISE and reward..

You have an alpha and these things are against his nature. Eye contact is a challenge in the dog world and of course he won't want to do it .
I am just starting to get good, prolonged eye contact. |

I would play tug, when you out him, tease him up with the tug and ask for positions. Then mark, reward him with the tug(ball, whatever) when he does what you are asking. Some dogs need training to be more of a game and keep it fun then when pup is a bit older you can put the 'boring' back into it.

My pup was starting to sass me about the down in our obedience class.
If they don't listen, we're supposed to guide them down. So I did - and she lay there with her front legs in awkward positions with her head right on the ground and cocked a bit to the side, and gave me the stink eye. And she did her ENTIRE 3 minute down stay like that I think it's normal, as stated already, it's a submissive position, so they are sometimes less cooperative about it. I try to make it fun, by getting her to down before I throw her Kong or feed her etc. |

This is also Gaia's least favorite position, it's hilarious when she does it. She full out throws herself down, there's nothing graceful about it, and then gives me the "look" I'm sure I gave my parents a million times when I was growing up.
I really like the idea of making it a game, she works way better when there's a tug involved.

I do what Diane suggests - "capture" him doing it on his own by marking and rewarding him when he does. If you want to get in lots of repetitions, release him and toss the treat just far enough away that he has to get up to get it. Wait for him to "down" again - rinse, repeat. I don't even add the word for awhile, just click (or verbal marker)/treat for a down.
I had Halo throwing herself into a down with eye contact by the time we went into puppy class (off leash, in a room full of people and other puppies!) three weeks after we got her. One week one of the women stopped me in the bathroom after class to ask how I got her to focus like that. |

- Filed Under
EDITOR: The MacIver Institute, a conservative advocacy group, wrote a piece attacking Citizen Action of Wisconsin's research, which reveals shocking disparities in health insurance costs between Minnesota and Wisconsin on the new marketplace.
We find nothing in MacIver's critiques that should lessen concerns that Wisconsinites will be paying more.
Is MacIver saying there is no rate difference, or that it is smaller than reported? Their response does not say.
The Citizen Action report found two decisions that can partially explain the rate disparity with Minnesota: 1) Gov. Scott Walker's rejection of federal Medicaid dollars; and 2) Minnesota's more robust use of rate review as a premium reduction tool.
MacIver attacks our conclusion that Walker's rejection of federal Medicaid dollars can explain between 8 percent and 10 percent of the 79 percent to 99 percent health insurance rate gap between Minnesota and Wisconsin. Our report cites well-established research that lower-income people tend to have more health conditions, which increases cost for the health marketplace insurance pool when not covered by Medicaid. Recent Kaiser Family Foundation research confirms this conclusion.
MacIver can't refute our contention that Minnesota's more aggressive rate review process has led to tangible reductions in premiums, whereas Walker's state regulators have not once tried to challenge rate increases. The difference between the states' premiums is so great that even if it were 50 percent off, which is unlikely, the health insurance cost disparity between Minnesota and Wisconsin would still be highly significant. MacIver fails to challenge a large health insurance rate disparity between Minnesota and Wisconsin. Our conclusions remain unscathed.
Kevin Kane,
Citizen Action of Wisconsin,
